Wow. Well, I didn't take Cheryl's post as questioning your integrity. If anything it seemed like there was an assumption because of who you guys are that everything was probably being done with integrity, but the problem was that there was no way for anyone to know that. Again, basic media literacy stuff that has gone out the window in the broadcast and online worlds in the last decade.
I don't know you guys and had never paid attention to your show, but as a result of Cheryl's post and your response I've ended up with enormous respect for Epic-FU and even a little bit of hope that the commercial side of whatever comes of web video has a chance at being more ethical than its MSM counterparts. I'll be using the discussion in my classes and using Epic-FU as an example of people approaching the commercial side of video on the web with integrity. It wouldn't have even registered otherwise. Since I don't know you folks, had I paid much attention before I probably would have assumed it was otherwise, having spent too much time dealing with people who rationalize their involvement in payola-esque situations even when they present a different face publicly. I can only speak to my own reaction. I came out of watching the whole thing and the ensuing discussion thinking you, Zadi, and Cheryl were all three examples of what is good in this space.
